yes, Christmas to totally commercialized (like Ramadan)- however, in no country is one FORCED to partake of the celebrations, traditions, etc! whereas here in qatar, we have no choice -at least in public, or even our own cars- we have to join in the deprivation!! I just think in the name of cultural awareness, let each to their own!!
do qatari muslims lack such self-control that even SEEING someone else chew gum or drink water will throw them off their spiritual path?? not very complimentary to them, thinking they can't make their own choices in the face of temptation
